I spend a very productive day today sorting out the lights on the car. I thought I would do a little write up as I am most pleased with the results
I will get some pics up tomorrow as it is getting dark now.
All the lights on the car were very dulled and the fronts especially were covered in a lot of tiny stone chips.
Started off by removing all the lights - headlights, indicators and rear light clusters and rear fog.
Gave them a good clean up with warm water and brush.
Got some 1200 grit and sanded the chips out with the paper on a block and WET.
Once I was happy I moved up to 1500 grit and wet sanded across the 1200 marks.
Continued this with 2000, 2500 and 3000 grit.
The 3000 grit I used on a DA with a foam backer pad.
Then I got the polisher out with a 3M green compounding pad and some Meguirs Plast-X plastic polish.
Locked the lights down in the Workmate and gave then a good polish, keeping it damp with a mist spray from a plant mister.
Finished off with anther good wash in warm water.
The difference is amazing, the lenses are all crystal clear now. It makes a real difference to the look of the car. Well worth doing!
*** Don't try it unless you have a machine polisher and pads as I don't think you would polish it up by hand ***
